When Zhang Li and her mother arrived at the gate of No. 2 Middle School, exhausted, it was already 9:28 in the morning.

Although it is not too late at this time, as it is already daylight saving time, the sun has already hung high in the sky. The intense and hot sunlight shines on the earth and begins to evaporate the almost non-existent moisture on the concrete floor.

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you are any later your school teachers will be waiting anxiously!" Zhang's mother, who was still walking briskly while carrying a large bag of fruits and vegetables, urged her daughter. She did not bother to wipe the sweat off her face, but quickly freed up one hand, supported the bag behind her back, and changed the position of the large bag to make it easier to carry.

Seeing her mother carrying such a large and heavy bag, Zhang Li wanted to help her mother reduce the weight. She asked Zhang's mother many times to share some of the burden, but was directly rejected by Zhang's mother.

According to Zhang's mother, you will soon be a top student at a prestigious university. If you do this kind of heavy work and get hurt, will you be able to continue your studies?

As for this kind of heavy work, I, your mother, am used to doing it, so I can do it. You can take a rest.

In this situation, what else can Zhang Li do?

She had no choice but to walk beside Zhang's mother and hold an umbrella over her head, trying to get less sunlight on her mother and reduce her sweat.

But even so, Zhang Li still suffered complaints from her mother.

"Why are you holding an umbrella for me? I'm not hot!" Zhang's mother ignored the beads of sweat on her forehead and asked Zhang Li not to hold one for her. "Just hold one for yourself. I don't need one!"

Zhang Li pretended not to hear her mother's words and played deaf and dumb until she accompanied her mother to the shadow of the administrative building. Then she put away her umbrella and walked leisurely into the building.

"Don't we need to go to your head teacher's office first? I remember your head teacher's office is on the first floor, right?" Zhang's mother followed her daughter up the stairs, carrying a bag on her back, and headed upstairs.

Zhang Li was leading the way up the stairs. When she heard her mother's question, she turned around and explained to her mother, "The class teacher is in the computer classroom right now, helping others with volunteer application guidance, so we can just go directly to the computer classroom on the fourth floor."

The group had already been discussing the application process lively. Zhang Li, who had been following the group's dynamics, naturally knew that the head teacher Zhou Yu was not in the Chinese teaching and research group office on the first floor at that time.

Her daughter's explanation made Zhang's mother shut up. For a moment, the only sound on the stairs was her mother's panting.

The height of a four-story building is neither high nor low.

At least it was a bit challenging for Zhang's mother who was carrying such heavy objects.

When she reached the fourth floor, Zhang's mother could no longer hold on. She quickly and carefully put down the large bag of fruits and vegetables she was carrying, then she supported her knees with her hands and began to breathe heavily.

"Huh... Ha... Oh my god, why did your school build such a tall building?" Zhang's mother, who finally recovered, looked at her daughter Zhang Li who was looking at her with a worried look on her face, "Our town government building is only three stories high, and your school building is six stories high?!"

"It has many uses,"

As they were talking, someone walked out of the computer classroom in front and headed towards the stairs.

"Zhang Li, you're here!" A classmate greeted Zhang Li with a smile, then he saw Zhang Li's mother beside her and looked at Zhang Li again, "Zhang Li, is this your mother?"

After getting the exact answer, the classmate quickly greeted Zhang's mother, "Auntie, hello."

Zhang Li's classmate, Zhang's mother naturally smiled and nodded to the classmate, "Hello, hello, have you filled out your application? Which school did you apply to?"

The classmate smiled and nodded, "I chose Anhui University as my first choice, and I obeyed my choice. I wanted to try my luck with Jinling Normal University, but my class teacher said that I basically couldn't get in with my grades, so I dropped it and chose Anhui University."

"Oh, Anhui University is good, Anhui University is also very good!" When Zhang's mother heard the student fill in Anhui University, she smiled even more brightly, "It's good to listen to your class teacher. Your class teacher is a capable person, and what he says must be right!"

There is nothing wrong with what you said. If you only have a vague understanding of something, you might as well listen to the opinions of someone who has more insights into it.

"Yes, so after discussing it with my family, I didn't insist and chose to apply to Anhui University." The student smiled and nodded, said goodbye to Zhang's mother and went downstairs using the stairs next to him.

"Let's go too!" After resting for a while, Zhang's mother finally took a deep breath and picked up the heavy bag of fruits and vegetables again. "Hurry up and fill in your application form so that we can go home soon!"

"Remember, ask your class teacher for his advice more often. What he says is always right!" While walking towards the computer classroom, Zhang's mother was still admonishing her daughter.

At this time, most of the students or parents had finished their consultation and left the school. When Zhang Li and her mother walked to the door of the computer classroom, there were only two or three pairs of parents and children still in the classroom, waiting for Zhou Yu's guidance.

"Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhou!"

Zhou Yu was still helping one of the parents with guidance on filling out their applications when he heard a loud voice. He raised his head and looked outside the door.

After seeing that it was Zhang Li and her daughter, Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, and said to Zhang Li, "It's Zhang Li. She did quite well in the college entrance examination this time, with a score of 605! By the way, have you decided which school to apply for?"

Zhang Li nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I've thought about it, teacher."

Zhou Yu smiled and pointed to the computer next to him, "Then go and fill it out. Just pick any computer that's turned on and log in."

Just as Zhang Li was about to sit down in front of the computer, she was pulled back by her mother.

Before Zhang Li could react, Zhang's mother rushed to Zhou Yu's side, put down the big bag in her hand with a wry smile, and said to Zhou Yu, "Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhou! I don't know how to thank you for taking care of our Zhang Li. Without you, our Zhang Li would not be so successful!"
